The Action looks pretty damn good.

The acting looks pretty damn cringe worthy.



Sony is just going to keep making Spiderman movies till the end of time now, aren't they?

The amount of fank wank in there was staggering.

Looks good tho, for what it is.

That said, I'm really not sure about the casting of Harry.  Like, really not sure.

I didn't have high hopes for the last Spiderman film because I couldn't see the point of rebooting the franchise again so soon after the last set of movies, but it turned out to be pretty good.

There is nothing about that trailer that looked good.

By your combined reactions, I predict a decently entertaining movie for normal people.

I... am dubious. The one thing that made me interested was in fact Harry. That kid is a good actor and can play "crazy" pretty well.

The really weird thing is the Rhino stuff. Like, really weird. A mech suit instead? Also, it's curious that Giamatti has no horn in the scene with the machine gun, but has a dashed line across his head. That was something that people assumed was there for the CG stuff.

I didn't have strong feelings about the first one either way. It was decent but unspectacular. This looks to continue that trend only MOAR!!!!

First one was meh. Not bad, not good. I liked Garfield's take on Peter Parker well enough. Really didn't like the attempt to make the mythos more complicated, any more than I like JMS's thing about Spider-Gods and all that. The trailer has some nice moments. Interestingly different take on the Osborns and on Sinister Six. Count me interested.

I enjoyed ASM more than I should have.  It got a lot of things from the first boot more right and a lot of things were less right.  Wildly.

However, where it really got better was 'Spider Man Fighting Shit', so it trundled along at a nicer pace.  Also, Conners was really well done, I thought.

I thought everything had way too much of a CG look in the first one, and if anything this one looks even worse in that respect to me.

I can remember almost nothing about the last one.

I can't even remember who the villain was.

Oh so it was. The only real memory I have is that they decided to go with mechanical web shooters.

It was not memorable is what I am saying.

Are you sure you were not watching the porn parody?  I don't remember any reptile sex in the movie.  But then again, we just said it wasn't memorable.

Well i liked the first movie but couldn't remember of the top of my head who the villain was either.  It would've come to me eventually though.

Looks like Oscorp is inventing Doc Ock's tentacles and the Vultures wings, nice easter eggs.  Guess they are also responsible for Rhino and GG's suits.  Also creating Electro. Oscorp in the business of mass producing super villains for, um, profit?  So we're going to have three villains this time?  Good, more villains ALWAYS works!

The guy playing Harry was the bad guy in Chronicles so that's interesting.  Also appears Harry knows PP is Spiderman.  Guess we know how THAT works out!

the studio plans to begin releasing a Spider-Man universe movie every single year, probably beginning in 2016 with The Amazing Spider-Man 3. The other films in the series will be Venom and The Sinister Six

Words fail me.
